Jesse, on his part, suggests Elon Musk’s controversial nature is to blame for the people laughing at him.

While I'm sure that's part of it, mostly it's just the fact that you blew 6 figures on a poorly assembled low res rust triangle

Guys, I just can't figure out why my coworkers laugh at me when I show them my picture wearing a maid costume! What could possibly be funny about that?

I saw a white cyber truck today (a first for me). It even more hideous than the silver and black ones.

I thought they were all plain metal. I wonder if it was a custom paint job.

Many will opt to get a custom wrap because the steel could get scratched and start rusting, plus they are buying for clout and are now in too deep to stop throwing money away on making it "look" better.

Some have also opted into getting a third party service to chemically deposit a layer of gold on the surface of the steel. Making it an even bigger money sink for little benefit and basically not worth driving around almost at all except for showing off.

The only reason to get a cyber truck is because you want to make a statement

The funny thing is, it’s not the statement they think it- none of them have the introspection necessary to understand, the message is “I’m a monumental douche.”

It's only $5k to professionally wrap a vehicle. You can have rainbow pearl over pink if you want.

Not just women. It is an absurd vehicle

At least someone is getting joy from the cybertruck.
